Each module consists of three essential components: a sturdy back piece with a motor mount, a middle section, and a tray to catch dispensed items. These modules connect seamlessly using M3 x 8mm bolts to form a stable tray. The legs are also divided into three parts: strong feet that support the bottom tray, extenders that enable additional trays, and a handle that adds rigidity to the structure. These modules can be arranged in any configuration, such as 2x2, 2x4, 1x8, or 3x3, offering endless possibilities for customization. The coils are crafted from 3mm aluminum wire with a diameter of 55mm and can be easily modified to suit various dispensing items. Each module is 60mm wide and 280mm long, making it an ideal addition to any space. Control the vending machine using your smartphone or Alexa through Wi-Fi switches connected to an Arduino board.
